I have had seizures while drinking Coke Zero but don't think it was the cause of my seizures. I don't eat right and I know it's my own fault and think that was more the cause of my seizures than drinking Coke Zero. Just to eliminate the chance of having a seizure caused by Aspartame, I've stopped drinking Coke Zero and read labels of things I eat just to avoid it. I'm just doing anything I can to avoid having any seizures. I posted above that I've never had any problems with Coke Zero, but just to avoid the possibility, I've started drinking regular Coke if I do drink soda and I'm trying to drink plain water rather than anything else.

I have been having mostly Hemiplegic Migraines and an occasional starring episode for the last 2 years. After 5 days of EEGs was diagnosed with mini seizures. Started medications and are down to 2-3 episodes a day. Last 1 1/2 years have been trying to lose weight as well as increasing artificial sweeteners. Also lately my meds are increasing, but not seeing any improvement. Was suggested to get off all artificial sweeteners, which I will try. Do sucralose and Splenda count as contributors to epilepsy? would love some relief from these daily episodes. Thank you,
